I mean he's definitely good enough, but seems a little wasted as a regista. His best quality is his athleticism and dribbling, so I can't see why you'd ask him to stay relatively deep and pick passes.

The lack of Antonio Conte in this thread makes me very sad.

It's a bug because it happens far too often. SI says it's a bug, that's good enough for me.

By moving back a step? It's a bug that has been already acknowledged by SI.

You're welcome.

Rodriguez has the worst personality and he has significant influence while the others have light. You're actively making your two young players' personalities worse.

I'm in the same boat. Not using Wolves but I've been playing 3-5-2 on FM since 2013. When I started watching Wolves this year I was amazed they play exactly like I want my teams to play. I started the season great, killing teams on the counter attack, scoring for fun and conceding nothing. Now I'm sitting in 1st and I can't buy a win. There's no space at all, teams are just defending deep and I've got absolutely no answer for it. I've tried throwing more men forward, I've tried being more cautious, moving the mentality up and down. Nothing works. The only thing I haven't tried is abandoning the formation which I'm not willing to do.

Great post, just a note - the AI doesn't counter your tactics, it merely approaches you more or less cautiously depending on your form. At the start of the season teams attacked you and you made use of the space, then they started being more cautious because you were winning.

I always use the update but basically just by default. I play in leagues like Iceland, Faroe Islands, etc. So I'm not gonna notice the transfers anyway.

Not sure I agree with this. Look at a guy like Ruben Loftus-Cheek. He hasn't had a long spell of health in the 7 years he's been in and around the Chelsea team. It also depends how it's presented. In real life the manager says something like "Ruben isn't in the squad today because we're making sure his back isn't a bigger issue going forward." Technically not an "injury" but in FM this would be presented as one of those orange injuries like "back tightness, 3 days."

He means the cap on wages he can offer an individual player is less than what top players want, rendering Man City incapable of landing top players despite all their money. Everyone can agree that shouldn't be the case.

I agree with all that. I would say all of those attributes are important for a DLP on support too though.

I'm curious what you think the player is lacking in terms of being able to play DLP/S but not RGA. In other words, what do you reckon is the difference in required attributes between those two roles?

Yeah. Even if its not "officially" ok by the rules, it's the only save I really get stuck into every year so I'm gonna go ahead with it anyway. Furthest I've brought them is champions league quarter finals so let's see if we can top that this time.

There are other people in this thread besides you mate.
